Radon Question
Hi everyone, it's ReDevelopInc. I'm Brendan Merk, talking to you today about radon. The question comes up sometimes: “Okay I had my home tested, the number came back at a 4.1, the EPA limit’s 4. Do I really need to have my home mitigated?” Well the thing you have to remember about radon is that it's all...
Winter Weather Radon
There's a beautiful blanket of snow in Louisville this morning! And if you're like me, you're probably wondering how this layer of snow will affect the radon levels in your home. Here are some people who found some answers! https://lnkd.in/dnXvZkf "the concentration of indoor radon is related to the amount of...
Understanding Radon
Understanding Radon A "curie" is named for Marie Curie, who actually coined the term 'radioactivity'. The amount of radiation coming from radon gas is very small, and is measured as a trillionth of a curie; that is, a pico-curie (pCi). In a liter of air, 1 pCi results in about 2.2 radioactive disintegrations per minute. In the US, the average...
Radon results high
I just completed my first radon test that came back above the EPA limit of 4.0 pCi/L in someone's home. So the question becomes, how far above the EPA limit of 4.0 pCi/L do you have to be to decide to mitigate? For your consideration, the EPA says that the average indoor concentration is 1.3 pCi/L. This national average is what the EPA uses to...
Radon Testing
Test your home for cancer-causing radon gas, for home owners in Kentucky. Nationally certified testing will let you know if your home has high levels of radon gas. This gas is radioactive and can break down into Polonium inside your lungs. Every house is different and the only way to know your level is through testing. At a minimum, a test from...
To Mask or Not to Mask
Are you a Health and Safety Professional? If so, wearing a mask in public is essential. Social distancing is essential. A small bottle of hand sanitizer is essential. We've all seen the recommendations from the CDC. We've seen the history of the 1918 pandemic. We've all seen the movie 'Contagion'. The science is clear and unambiguous. That's why...
CANCELLED
You've seen this everywhere I'm sure. As a small business owner I need to market my services and network on a regular basis. This week, however, is different. I have just cancelled my calendar for the week, including a number of lunch and coffee meetings with potential clients. It really hurts to do that, but we are living in extraordinary times....
How to read a Phase I
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is a technical document that many people find hard to read, even the people who paid for it. These reports don’t have to be overwhelming. Here’s a breakdown on how to get the most out of them. The typical report contains about 20 to 30 pages of information, followed by supporting documentation in...
